The Terminal 2 Baggage Programme (T2BP) at Heathrow aims to replace the aging T2 baggage system linked to Terminal 1. The new solution will be implemented in five phases across 21 construction projects, grouped by physical and operational attributes. A major challenge was managing design risks through different organizations and suppliers that interface at key areas in a live operational environment. The manual Excel processes used to record design risks led to difficulties in maintaining a single source of truth, causing duplication and errors. The goal was to find a streamlined, digital solution to standardize processes and enable monitoring and reporting through dashboards. After researching data environments, Construction Cloud was chosen for its suitability to manage design risk information, requiring customization through trial and feedback. The solution also provided integration with augmented reality (AR) for live inspections.

In the past, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry relied heavily on in-person interaction, physical models, and 2D visuals. Communicating design intent in this way —especially with COVID-19 impacting the future of work—has posed challenges for design reviews and coordination meetings to provide the right context for all stakeholders. Using real-time BIM enables companies to create immersive, interactive experiences for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Companies can conduct design reviews between designers, owners, and construction trades irrespective of geographic location and iterate across teams before the concrete is poured. This session will explain how Unity Reflect enables immersive design review and coordination to empower better collaboration and faster decision making, bridging the gap between designers and decision makers.

An insight into media content creation, delivery and resilience. How for years we have been scratching the surface of hybrid rendering CPU/GPU and how we have been forced to embrace it today. At the beginning of the year the world was turned upside down, one day we were traveling, having fun at opening ceremonies, filming interviews and at the word of “cut” we were told we had to work from home until further notice. Luckily in hindsight we were prepared to work remotely all at once, we had the right tools and the infrastructure to do so, many projects continued to move forward, some got put on hold but many new ones started to come in. Interactive web tours, Real time experiences, Real time video walls, Virtual Sales centers with 360 immersive Real time interactives and the list goes on. Lets take a look at the Software and Hardware that helped us move forward, lets talk about how we fast tracked into the future of Architectural Visualization.

Analyze, Design, Evaluate, Repeat – the process of structural analysis is iterative. However, even in BIM-workflows, this cycle is often conducted in spearate software packages, where the analytical model is created and maintained independently. Redundant input and inconsistencies lead to an inefficient and costly process. As Revit automatically generates the analytical model along with the physical model, integrating structural analysis into a BIM-process gets reasonable and more critical, maintainable. The SOFiSTiK App, Analysis + Design for Revit, extends this concept and enriches the analytical model in Revit with additional properties, like design code specific materials, cross-sections or additional analysis elements. The entire analysis of buildings - from the definition of properties to the design of members and the visualization of results - can be conducted entirely within Revit.

In this session, we’ll talk about how Autodesk products like Alias software, VRED software, PowerMill, and PowerInspect can empower automotive design studios with technology to push the boundaries of creativity and collaborate radically with the goal of making better products, faster.

You will also discover what we believe the future looks like and how to join the conversation

Improved and affordable software has made the concept of real-time rendering to become fully realized in the AEC industry. Designers are now able to effortlessly produce high-class renderings throughout every stage of their workflow. A game-changing feature that has added to the improvement of the design workflow is an integration that gives designers the ability to work with both CAD and renderings side-by-side. Adjustments can be made on the fly and the changes will appear on the rendering instantly. This session will demonstrate the possibilities users get by being able to create fully rendered walk-throughs with just one click. From standing out in the conceptional design stage with videos and VR to displaying BIM data to answer questions on facility management. We will outline how all members of the AEC industry can benefit by implementing rendering functions into their workflows and shorten their trial and feedback iterations.

Most AutoCAD users have either taken an AutoCAD course or have been trained by existing users within their business. Very rarely do they get to explore some of the tools that aren’t standard. This session will address those “I wish I knew that” statements. This fast-paced class will introduce users to 45 important tips and tricks that can be achieved across “vanilla” AutoCAD software. We’ll categorize the tips across each area of AutoCAD, from navigation through to output—including Render, Creation, and Modify. The session will have a question-and-answer session at the end where the audience will be able to ask any questions that arise from the session.
